It was probably back in 2007, that the idea struck me. Not named, but increasingly ever present. And around that time, I was recording my idea stream in a blog called What if(?), which I turned into a private place of record keeping for a while. All of this was way back, before there was such a large community here. Some of you remember.
What ifs were clips of process. More like questions and answers. Just the very beginnings. Seeds. Well anyway, this one just kept going. Growing quietly, slowly, like things with good roots do. I used the technique here and there in other work, but I made many small singular and focused samples. 100 to be exact. Studies and components for a body of larger works which are in process. I never talked about them here. This
project has been part of a personal space I cleared for myself for a while. A place less cluttered with words and such. These cloths, I feel, have their own art and cloth voice, and I
don't need to say a lot about them.
One of the ways I like to define sanity is simply clarity of being.
So anyway, the one above is Sanity 101.
Because I am not anywhere near sane.
I will be bringing What if back in a new form at year's end.
As a separate learning space.
